Along with a massive amount of help from Matt, I've put together detailed instructions
on how build a version of Python that will run yt on the compute nodes on a Cray XT5
(Kraken, specifically). yt will run just fine with the standard install on the login
nodes, but if you wish to do parallel analysis or be manganimous and run jobs in the batch
queue, you need to run with a statically-linked version of Python with all the modules
needed built-in. And that's where it becomes complicated:
